Missed Taking Birth Control Pills, Painful And Heavy Periods. Safe To Restart The Pills Again?

I've been on birth control pills (Marvelon 28 - Desogestrel / Ethinyl Estra ) for about one and a half year. I missed taking birth control pill for about last four days, is it safe to just restart the birth control package again or is there something I need to know first? The reason I am taking these pills because of sometimes I get really painful and heavy periods.

hi,
When the BC pills are dropped, & you had unprotected sex,the possibility of conception stands.
* If there is no conception, withdrawal bleeding will start within 8 days maximum.This month you can take Velethamate bromide tablet for pain relief.( 1 tab twice a day after food)
It is better to wait for withdrawal bleeding & start a new pack on 5th day of bleeding.
* If there is no withdrawal, get blood HCG test done ,In case it's +ve, you will have to go for MTP
thanks.
